Pooh revisited
Usually, I try to be like Winnie-the-Pooh or Tigger and be open to new experiences.
But today, I am taking a Rabbit-like position in my disapproval of a new Winnie-the-Pooh book.
Of course, every American child has seen the Disney version of Pooh. I discovered the books when I was a little older, and I loved the cleverness and whimsy of the writing and art.
Now, decades after the deaths of A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard, is there anything that still needs to be said about Christopher Robin and his gang of friends? I think not.
The stories are all about childhood and fun. We don't need to see Christopher Robin growing up.
So I don't think I'll be buying the new Pooh book. Instead, I will curl up with my Winnie-the-Pooh treasury at home and return to my childhood for a little while. That's why it's on my shelf.

Sometimes I wonder if you didn't have some traumatic experience when you were a child, and have become more or less locked into that age. Maybe a divorce, or death in the family of someone close to you? You could write a letter the Dr. Phil explaining your situation. He's helped many people onto the road to emotional recovery, at least that's what the commercial said. But then again, maybe you're just a snuggle bunny at heart.

I wonder what Trespassers Williams would say?
